I finished Book 6.

The following is a review of the book based on my opinion only. There are NO spoilers. If you care at all about spoilers though, do NOT go around reading reviews, as some people feel it necessary to ruin the story for others just because they had a problem(s) with the way the book turned out.

This may be an "in-the-moment" sort of assertion, but Book 6 is the best book of the series so far. While lacking the extent of the child-like wonderment of the first two books, the fast-paced action of the third and fourth books, and the dark, forboding tone of the fifth book, Book 6 is as compelling a page-turner as the other books of the series as it delves much more deeply into the psychological aspects of the plot; in particular the dark childhood and adolescence preceeding a certain wizard's transformation into the Dark Lord. There is a definite sense of maturation, both in Harry and the series. Harry Potter is no longer a children's book. This is not to say, however, that there isn't enough action to keep even the most casual reader happy. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a cliffhanger ending that, unlike the previous books, leaves you with no idea of what will happen next - making it all the more difficult and depressing to wait for the final installment of the series.

To sum up: GO READ IT NOW.

I really need to talk to someone about the book, so if you have finished it, talk to me!
